Women In Their Sexual Peak Scare Most Men... To Younger Girls

I also heard a report that this difference in timing/ages of sexual peaks is total B.S. originally released to help discourage women from being sexually active until later in their lives (i.e. after they were already married... anyone else hear that?

Just In...Writers looking for readers use sex and silly generalizing to get them

No one has discussed Sharon Stone. I'm going back to picking my nose.

3 pages of comments on a Living Now page column. Who would have thought it?
One thing that seems to be overlooked is while these mid 30 year old women have an increased sex drive their appearance is usually starting to fade. It's sad but true. There are exceptions but by the mid 30's the average woman has had a few kids and put on and extra dozen or two (dozen) pounds.
Unfortunately we men are shallow creatures and are visually stimulated. Sorry, I didn't wire our brains the way they are made.
If you and your husband are out of sync sexually you might want to take a look in the mirror before wondering what is wrong with him.

Two words, Michelle Phifer grrrrrrrr.

Horse hockey! Give me a nice looking 40-year-old over a dumb hot 20-something any day of the week.

Could it be the neuroses of the women in their "sexual peak" that "scares" men away? Hmmm . . . . . .

This kind of assertion makes me think that generalizations from limited research play loudest to biases and stereotypes. Most women (and, of course, I know most women) don't require enough from men, but it doesn't have much to do with sex drives, it has to do with paternalistic/sexist patterns and a lack of general power-sharing in society - laced with rampant double standards. Boys will be boys, yet women must follow "the rules." More pointedly, it just doesn't generalize well to characterize men or women on the basis of simplistic explanations. We are diverse individuals.

more male-hating claptrap...

If anything puts down men, particularly if it can be used to make fun of men in general, it is inherently good as viewed in our current culture.


Wives can murder their husbands, and it's assumed that he was abusing her in some way (women are free to murder their own children, too, of course).

Yet let a man harm a child or his wife (OJ notwithstanding--that's a race thing) and he's a Monster.

I love that 'spreading the seed far & wide' line. What a lovely copout. Spreading seed indiscriminately inevitably leads to not enough support for the offspring--a definite evolutionary disadvantage. Men are still using the old male-designed biological reasoning to excuse their behaviors. To the species' detriment.

What I find interesting is the title of this link, vs the content of the article.

There is nothing in the article that suggests that "Women In Their Sexual Peak Scare Most Men... To Younger Girls"

The article is about how men lose testosterone and thus sex drive as they age, while women's sex drive seems to increase.

It also discusses how these women are cheating on their husbands.

What's interesting also, is that there are studies that show that this is not necessarily the case, and this article is full of anecdotal evidence, but no actual studies.

A young boy asks his father, what is a vagina?
The father says before sex it's perfume and roses. After sex, have you ever seen a bulldog eat mayonaise?

Scared with good reason.

As one near that "peak" I wonder if that notion is not just wishful thinking. I suspect men are hard-wired to gravitate to young, healthy fertile females.

The sexual maturity curve seemingly at variance doesn't seem to be a cruel irony. If it's not adventageous biologically it's at least neutral.

Whew, the fur is flying on this thread. When I was in my mid twenties I discovered the joys of women about 10-15 years older than myself, and converted. Now that I'm middle-aged, I STILL prefer women in their mid thirties. Sorry, but finding a woman my age with a nice butt that weighs less than me is almost impossible, and men are visually stimulated. That's not my fault. And no, I'm not intimidated by a sexually aggressive woman, although I know most men are. Not enough space here to explore all the intricacies of our problems.

Oh bother. Why did this have to turn into a pee-ing contest between the machomacho boy-men and the aging feminist broads?
